A Nation Deceived Survey

A Nation Deceived Survey

Your Input Needed to Evaluate the Impact of National Report

NAGC was pleased to endorse a national report on academic acceleration strategies last year. The report, A Nation Deceived: How Schools Hold Back America’s Brightest Students, was released last fall and has been widely disseminated. (The report is downloadable at http://nationdeceived.org/).

The Belin-Blank Center at the University of Iowa is now working on a one-year assessment of the impact of the report on education, and has prepared a very brief survey (10 items) to help them collect information that will be helpful in assessing the impact of the report on policies and attitudes regarding the acceleration of gifted students. Dr. Nicholas Colangelo, the Center’s director, will present a summary of the survey results at the NAGC annual convention in Louisville.

We urge you to take a few minutes to complete the survey, and to urge others to do so as well. Your responses and email addresses will be anonymous.

The survey is available at http://www.nationdeceived.org/survey/.
